My favorite wall in our house


A few weeks ago we saw the Guarneri in Baltimore. It is their last season before retirement. They kindly signed my program and I was so pleased to see Peter again (whom I studied with while I was pregnant with Sam at S.U.N.Y. Purchase). He was especially kind to me. I put this new picture up on our collage wall last week.


My framed program and ticket stub.

I love our photo collage wall. I love the significance of each piece and why they are meaningful to me. The rose colored older woman is my Great Grandma Vivian Redd McConkie - whom we named Vivian after. The little watercolor of a cello scroll is something Mom did for me before we left for New York. It only took her about 20 minutes to sit down and produce. I am so glad I insisted! If you look closely you can see a barn in the upper left hand corner. This is a barn B and I passed as we drove out of Logan in our Utah State days. It is a great reminder of those happy years where we met. Everything on this wall holds special significance to me. I added some pictures recently and I have found myself staring at this wall a lot. I thought I'd share.



The pictures are so spread apart now that I can't fit them all in the same shot. Above is the view from the right, and below is the view from the left.

How special! It's nice that you have something like that so meaningful. Thanks for letting me know about the our cousins' blogs. It's nice to see how everyone is doing, when we are all so busy! xoxoxo Katie

Lucky for me, your blog is public again! Your collage wall is a splendid idea and so well executed. Makes me want to take some things out of storage bins, frame them, and hang them up.
